Chapter 358: Monster Legion Plan
"Marines."
"World Government."
Typhon leaned back on his Throne, his right arm bent, supporting his head.
In this Monster Paradise, he was considered one of the rare normal-looking individuals.
However, only those who truly knew him understood that Typhon was the truly terrifying Monster.
Aside from the Big Mom Pirates and Elbaf, outsiders had not yet witnessed Typhon's transformed Monster form.
The smile on his face caused the Monsters kneeling below to tremble, feeling a chill down their spines.
Some powerful Monster Wild Beasts also lowered their bodies and bowed their heads.
They seemed to be awaiting Typhon's command.
Typhon didn't speak, but the aura emanating from him was like a continuously growing tornado, becoming increasingly terrifying.
Especially towards his Subordinates, it brought a physical pressure, making them unable to move due to fear.
Typhon was a Tyrant, wielding absolute rule.
For these Subordinates, they only needed to obey orders.
Beneath his calm and cold gaze, extreme wrath was hidden.
Even though it was just two Ghost-Rank Cadres.
To Typhon, it was nothing significant; creating them was easy with a bit of time.
However, he hadn't even sought trouble with the World Government yet, and the World Government had already made a move against him.
Besides these two Ghost-Rank Cadres, the World Government had already attacked other members of the Monster Legion before.
They thought Typhon didn't know, but in reality, Typhon had always been aware.
The so-called fifteen thousand was merely the number of Monsters under Typhon; it didn't include the terrifying Wild Beasts.
And there were the insect creatures hidden in the shadows.
They were Typhon's informants, including those flying in the sky and swimming in The Sea.
In terms of intelligence gathering ability, Typhon's informants were no less than his mother's vast number of Homies.
Speaking of the strength currently possessed, Typhon's Monster Legion, compared to those Hegemon-level Pirate Groups, was not much inferior in terms of lower-level combatants.
"How far has the situation developed over there now?"
Typhon had always paid attention to the situation in the central part of the Former Half of the New World.
When the pirate tide erupted, his Monster Legion took the opportunity to strike, brutally slaughtering three Navy Branches and plundering a large number of merchant ships.
Nearly ten thousand Marine Soldiers died under the Monster Legion's massacre.
Attacking the Trade Route maintained by the Marines was, to some extent, also influenced by him from the shadows.
Of course, there was also the push from some Underworld Forces in the New World.
The emergence of the Trade Route indeed brought a large amount of profit, but similarly, many Factions were negatively affected, their business being taken by the Trade Route.
As Typhon's voice fell, three figures appeared before him, kneeling with their heads bowed.
One was a six-meter-tall birdman covered in black feathers.
One was a strange fish-man with a tail behind him and over a dozen eyes; his body was the largest, fourteen meters tall.
One was a large blood mosquito only over a meter tall.
It was clear that the animal characteristics on these three were far greater than human ones.
In other words, they were originally animals, cultivated by Typhon to transform towards a humanoid form.
Although they looked ugly, their wisdom was actually no less than humans.
These three were all Ghost-Rank Cadres who had drunk Typhon's undiluted blood.
In the future, they would continue to undergo mutation and evolution until they became truly humanoid.
The three of them were not just combatants, but also Intelligence Officers, because they possessed the ability to control creatures of their own kind, corresponding to birds, fish, and mosquitoes, covering the air, sea, and land.
They were originally kings of their respective species and received focused cultivation from Typhon.
Their tribes also underwent evolution by drinking Typhon's diluted blood.
Typhon's blood held a certain primal desire for these animals.
"King, the Marines are continuously mobilizing military strength from the Former Half of the Grand Line.
Over fifty warships have arrived in the New World, totaling approximately sixty thousand Marine Soldiers."
"If we include the current thirty thousand Marine Soldiers remaining in the New World, there are now nearly one hundred thousand Marine Soldiers in the New World."
"Marine Vice Admiral Garp has been recalled to the Former Half of the New World and is currently stationed there with Admiral Sengoku."
"A large amount of reserve supplies are being transported to the New World.
It seems the Marines do not plan to sit idly by and are preparing to launch a war."
The birdman, who seemed to be the Leader of the three, spoke calmly.
His voice was sharp and grating, but his eyes were full of wisdom.
"I plan to give them a lesson.
Where can be the target?"
Typhon was already impatient to make a move.
He craved war and slaughter.
The World Government's actions had truly infuriated him.
The numerous Monsters in the entire Palace were at least Tiger-level minor Cadres.
Currently, the ranking system of the Monster Legion did not fully represent strength, as many Ghost-Rank Cadres who had drunk Typhon's blood still needed time to grow.
Like these Wild Beasts, they still needed enough time to transform into human form.
They could still grow, train to become stronger, and learn Haki.
The establishment of the Monster Legion was only three years ago; it was still in the initial development stage.
It required sufficient time for accumulation and mutation evolution.
Typhon initially thought this way, but then again, the World Government sought trouble with him.
The Monster Legion's previous plunder of the Trade Route was just an appetizer.
"Yes, King.
If we all move out, we can set our target on G3 Fortress."
"The Island where G3 Fortress is located is one of the Trade Islands on the New World Trade Route."
"Currently, Admiral Sengoku is stationed at G2 Fortress, former Marine Admiral Zhikai is stationed at G4 Fortress, Garp is stationed near the central part of the New World, at G-5 Fortress, while G3 Fortress is only guarded by two Marine Vice Admirals."
"With the master's strength, a direct air raid on G3 Fortress cannot be stopped by anyone."
The birdman stated what he considered the best choice.
Although the locations of these Navy Fortresses might have changed compared to many years ago, the overall plan remained the same.
The three Fortresses, G1, G3, and G5, formed a connected line.
G2 Fortress and G4 Fortress were located North and South, protecting G3 Fortress in the center.
Around these five Navy Fortresses, Navy Branches were also situated to cover this Sea Area.
However, after being attacked and ravaged by a large number of Pirates, there were now many Pirates in this Sea Area.
Before the Marines launched a war against the outside, they had to clear out and expel the Pirates within the Sea Route.
"This plan is good, but it's not enough."
Typhon thought for a moment, shaking his head slightly.
Then, his blood-red vertical pupils, which had become like those of a Wild Beast, suddenly expanded.
Excitement gleamed in his eyes, and he grinned.
"That old guy Sengoku must be here to guard against me, right?"
Admiral Sengoku's G2 Fortress was located North of G3 Fortress, right near the Big Mom Pirates' Territory.
Typhon wasn't surprised by the Marines' actions; it meant they valued him.
In the Southern Sea Area, where no Hegemon-level Great Pirates had been born, although G4 Fortress might face more Pirates, there was no need to worry about encountering those terrifying Great Pirates.
Therefore, it was guarded by Zhikai, whose combat strength was slightly weaker.
A large portion of the military strength and high-end combat power transferred from Headquarters was tilted towards the South.
Moreover, the Island where G4 Fortress was located was also a Trade Island.
"Monitor the situation and movements at G4 Fortress for me.
After I deal with G3 Fortress, I'll go directly to G4 Fortress.
I'll test the waters with this former Admiral first.
I want to slaughter that guy."
"Since he's already retired, why is he still jumping out?
If he's looking for death, then I'll send him to his demise."
"Losing a former Marine Admiral, the Marines must be very heartbroken!"
Typhon slowly stood up.
His nine-meter-tall body was filled with terrifying oppressive force.
The cold light flashing in his eyes indicated the revenge he was about to take against the World Government.
The Marines naturally became his target.
"Understood, my King.
We will not let the Marines escape our sight."
The birdman at the front respectfully lowered his head, raising his wings to mimic a human's posture and bowing.
